🍄 Looking for the ultimate October half term adventure for your wild ones? 🍁

Join us at Base Camp for our Forest School Holiday Adventure Days! Based in our beautiful, 90-acre private woodland tucked away at Baldersby Park between Ripon and Thirsk, we have three days packed with outdoor magic ✨ , creativity 🎭, and spooky 👻 fun.

⏰ Time: 10:00am to 3:00pm daily
📍Location: Base Camp, Baldersby Park, Thirsk.
👧🏼 Age range: 5 to 12 years old
🏷️ Price: £36 per day

Here is what we have lined up for this half term:
🗓️ Wed 28th Oct: 🎃Trick-or-Treat Trek
Kick off Halloween with a spooky woodland trail. Expect nature-based challenges, hidden surprises, and plenty of outdoor fun as we trek through the trees.

🗓️ Thurs 29th Oct:
🎭 Wild Talent and Woodcraft
Let their imaginations run wild. The children will take to our woodland stage to create their own stories and performances, inspired by the magic of the forest. Using natural materials they will design and make their own props and costumes.

🗓️ Fri 30th Oct:
🧪 Spooky Science and 🔥 Campfire Cooking
We are joined by the amazing Super Scientist, Becca Clarkson, for a morning of messy, marvellous Spooky Science. Think jaw-dropping chemistry experiments, all with a brilliant Halloween twist. We then get cosy around the campfire and cook up a treat in the afternoon.

Spaces are limited to keep our camp cosy and safe.

It was all about the conkers today at Pre-school Adventures.

We opened them out of their shells, pressed them in clay, rolled them down shoots, floated them on water and scooped them up with spades!

Spaces are available on Wednesdays, 9.30-11. It’s a super chilled, friendly inclusive setting with amazing homemade flapjack for snack time 🤩.
